well, I can make guesses about the first two:

"reductionism: the relationship between two disciplines is becoming closer, and the two fields are being reduced into one; or, that they are drifting farther apart,and their relationship is being reduced.

"emergentism" the relationship between two disciplines is begatting a new, emergent field.

all I know is, I'm sure I have skewered several pronoun rules in the process!(among other things...)
